In the mid-1970s, toxaphene was the most applied pesticide in the USA and other countries. The total global production was estimated at 0.45-1.33 x 10s tons [28]. The highest production rates were reported for the USA, Brazil,... 

As was thf case with dieldrin, photodecomposition of C-parathion and Cl-toxaphene was relatively extensive, and the addition of FMN has almost no effect on the enhancing or decreasing the rate of degradation to water-soluble products. Since the organic-soluble products were not analyzed in the case of parathion and toxaphene, it is difficult to speculate on the type of degradation products formed and the pathways involved on...
